NOTICE
■
Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters and tire valve caps (vehicles with a tire pressure
warning system)
●
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.
●
When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than those
specified. The cap may become stuck.
■
To avoid damaging the tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
Do not use liquid sealants on flat tires.
■
Do not use puncture sealant sprays to repair flats (vehicles with a
tire pressure warning system)
Puncture sealant sprays may damage tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters.
■
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot-
holes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing
the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition, driving on rough roads may
cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle's wheels
and body.
■
If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
